Well every minute they're alive feels like an eternity, even if they die early. The peak age of death is 84, even though the average is lower. If Trump dies before that age while getting the best healthcare in the world, it will still feel like he lived forever.

I guess it depends on what you mean by almost done. They've taken 50% of the land in gaza. They've killed 3% of the Gaza strip and .06% of the West Bank. These are massive extinction events by population percentage, but the Palestinians are still very much there. As soon as people give up, the Palestinians are in a much much worse state than they already are.

It won't be as easy for them to push through the other 50% without displacing or killing 2 million people, which is a world of difference from 70,000. I'm not optimistic, but I also don't see a current path for Israel to "finish the genocide" that doesn't simultaneously eliminate a large percentage of their remaining political and economic power in the process. On the other hand fascist counties aren't know to act rational. Either way, this genocide is far from over. Imo, it will last at least another decade, if not much longer, if it's bent on geographic, cultural, and/or population annihilation. I think there is at least some hope that the political winds can change before that happens.

Thank you, I should be more careful about what I write. Often I try to reread what I write and remove all of the snark, but I clearly didn't in this chain. Pretty hypocritical for me to be criticizing you while being more of an ass. Hope you have had a good holiday weekend.

Fair enough, I was pretty rude in my initial comment, which wasn't fair. I was frustrated with the posting of an obvious advertisement and could have just said that.

You're posting advertising on behalf of famous people. And while I'm certain I've seen them both naked, my knowledge about their shitty behavior comes from lemmy and reddit posts. I have no shame for reading reddit and lemmy, but you should have some pause for holding water for wealthy grifters.

Stella Barey defends sexual predator Andrew Tate... Lana Rhoades is a scammer. This business is just about money and nothing else. Why post their advertising?

Both of the ones from my state are from moderate conservative districts. Completely unsurprising that they won't stick their necks out for something entirely symbolic. Though I don't get why they can't just abstain from a silly vote.

Not a huge fan of Chomsky as a person, even if he's said things I agree with. But it's worth considering that he was extremely critical of the exact apparatus that is reporting his demise. Not saying he wasn't a creep, he was arrogant enough to be, but this could all be fiction. Also plenty of people knew Epstein that were not part of his extracurriculars. As much as I want to see a lot of these rich fucks squirm, we really lack incriminating info. And even if we had it, I'm not sure I trust the current people handling the documents.

Changed, in to "before", iirc this impact persists a little past infancy, but yes not into the teens, I just was not thinking about my words.

Evidence shows that early exposure to potential allergies reduces the likelihood of getting that allergy. Since we've know this doctors have recommended early exposure to allergens, instead of avoiding them. Now that we no longer avoid peanuts before adolescence, the allergy is receding.

A lot of places put the waste basket by the door for this very reason.

The regulator and water pressure both impact flow rate. Though as they said, remove the regulator and it's unlikely to be an issue.
